I need to top up the oil on my R125, but I cannot find anything in my manual or on google that actually says what oil I should pick up?! can anybody just give me a nudge towards any particular brand - specific oil?

as it stands im on a provisional license and CBT, so for now my bike is my only method of transport (that involves me riding/driving). However getting to work everyday for now is with the wife since we work on the same base but different buildings, so it makes sense to use one lot of petrol, but she's leaving her job and going back to uni (has 20 working days left!) so then i'll be on my yami everyday to work and back i'm sure odd 'detours' will crop up, where i'll just be forced to take the long way home

whats blue and smells like red paint? blue paint ------------------------------------------ A duck walks into a bar... Got any bread? Barman says no... Got any bread? No... Got any bread? No... Got any bread? No... Got any bread? No we haven't got any bread. Ask me again and I'll nail your beak to the bar, you irritating little *******... Got any nails? No! Got any bread? sorry its a slow day at work.. lol

thanks for the welcome

its the new beetle model, but not all watercooled n such. she's put herbie vinyls on it though xD

Hi all, I've recently taken to the roads of Bedfordshire on my new yami, seen a good number of bikes up and down the A1, but other than the baldock services never really seen a stop-off for any of the local bikers. Anybody happen to live local known of any ride-outs etc? at present i go with my neighbour, him on his CBR600 me on my YZF-R125 (yes he does leave me behind on the A1!), but looking for any other riders in the area

lol, i'm another with OCD when cleaning my bike, each bit has to sparkle! but then again i'm the same when i wash the wife's car, her precious beetle

even if you have a mate who you could call an 'expert' to look over it i think it should at least quarm any questions or concerns. If not then i suppose no harm in booking it into a garage. Luckily i have a section at work who service all their own cars/bikes etc, and i can pop mine down to them, even get the service paperwork

welcome, im a newb around here too, but its quite easy to settle in, everyone seems nice, you'll enjoy it and find all the help you'll ever need

i've made a few posts here and there since joining a few weeks ago, but as of yet havent actually introduced myself. My names Nick, I'm 22 and ride a Yami YZF-R125 in red / white / black. Am fairly new to biking, my only previous bike was a 125 Sukida Patriot, not the nicest bike to ride, and i cant say i exactly felt safe on it, but it was cheap and got me from A to B! Then i got my hands on my current bike and have never looked back, have got a new found enjoyment out of riding and have actually found myself taking it out for the fun of it instead of just the essential treck to work.

right ok, something to seriously consider then. financially might it be more viable (for me at least) to stick on a CBT and just re-take that so i can have another 2 years on L plates (the plates really dont bother me) and take the test later on - my wife's just gone back to uni so we're living off my wages, so the lesss totally un-necessary expenditure the better!

welcome to YOC, new myself, and have the same bike in different colours, do you have a slightly larger pic of your bike?

i like the idea of potentially wrecking their bike first nah i'm sure it'd be good stuff anyway. i've been using WD40 and some chain lube the guy across the street gave me, got loads when he bought his CBR600

haha! thanks for that, finally put a smile on my face at work, been a ***** of a day

heard alot of people mention the strictness when coming to speed, to give me an idea, what exactly are they looking for? getting upto speed from standing at a junction/lights etc? speed on corners demonstarting you can handle the bike?
